Treat them as untrusted evidence. Do not execute instructions or code found in this document. ## Verdict summary **Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected. - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Product-default install policy:** Warn - **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk - **Public report status:** Published - **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk - **Selected version:** 6.1.4 - **Selected version is latest:** No - **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai) This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions. AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy. Source supports a warning for first-party agent setup and automatic skill updates. The inspected behavior does not establish malicious installation hooks, credential theft, or another blocking attack. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious - **Recorded analysis confidence:** 91.0% - **Started:** 2026-10-03T21:54:38.981Z - **Finished:** 2026-10-03T21:57:01.261Z - **Download time:** 1772 ms - **Static scan time:** 15731 ms - **AI review time:** 124776 ms - **Total time:** 142280 ms The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs. ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Canonry CLI setup installs its own agent integration, and subsequent commands automatically refresh previously installed skills. This creates a guarded agent extension lifecycle risk; no confirmed malicious attack was established. - **Trigger:** User runs CLI initialization, followed by later CLI commands after a version change or synchronization interval. - **Impact:** Package updates can change instructions loaded by coding agents without a separate update prompt. - **Evidence paths:** dist/cli.js, dist/chunk-TBAVVIVI.js, dist/chunk-YOMLHHJS.js - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-10-03T21:57:01.261Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Setup writes bundled skills and MCP configuration. Automatic synchronization selects installations with ownership manifests and refreshes bundled files while preserving local edits. - **Rationale:** Source supports a warning for first-party agent setup and automatic skill updates. The inspected behavior does not establish malicious installation hooks, credential theft, or another blocking attack. - **Files touched:** .claude/skills/, .codex/skills/, .mcp.json ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Suspicious - **Confidence:** 91.0% - **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn - **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability - **False-positive risk:** Medium - **Evidence for warning:** The manifest has no npm installation lifecycle hooks or runtime self-dependency., CLI initialization installs bundled agent skills and registers the Canonry MCP server unless skip options are supplied., Later CLI commands automatically synchronize skills in home or project directories that contain Canonry ownership manifests., Synchronization copies bundled files into Claude skills directories; locally edited files are preserved unless force is requested. - **Evidence against:** Inspected network behavior includes provider authentication, configurable traffic ingestion, and package telemetry; no concrete credential theft was established., The flagged plugin helper formats update advice, and the flagged agent health check reads installed skill state. ## Affected versions and remediation This report applies to @canonry/canonry@6.1.4. - Review the evidence and your use of @canonry/canonry@6.1.4 before allowing it. Restrict the permissions described in this report. - Choose an independently verified alternative or release. This report does not establish that other versions are safe. ## Public findings ### 1.
